We are clearly constrained by a player in our press, whose name is Kylian Mbappé. Kylian Mbappé is a player who we—he is not a player who defends, he has never defended, he finds it very hard to defend.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/C42PkzJX9pOP/en/how-psg-adapts-its-press-to-limit-mbapp%C3%A9-s-running?t=33) So, we have adapted the system so that in defense, Kylian Mbappé runs as little as possible.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/C42PkzJX9pOP/en/how-psg-adapts-its-press-to-limit-mbapp%C3%A9-s-running?t=39) Why? Because he scores fifty goals and provides Twenty-five assists.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/C42PkzJX9pOP/en/how-psg-adapts-its-press-to-limit-mbapp%C3%A9-s-running?t=41) Well, since we don't want this to be Kylian's last Champions League match Mbappé in a Paris Saint-Germain shirt, nor do we want this to be our last Champions League match, we change how we press.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/C42PkzJX9pOP/en/how-psg-adapts-its-press-to-limit-mbapp%C3%A9-s-running?t=50) Kylian, if you don't run, it doesn't work.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/C42PkzJX9pOP/en/how-psg-adapts-its-press-to-limit-mbapp%C3%A9-s-running?t=53) That's as clear as it gets.
